NEW HOPE---NEW BLESSINGS---NEW LIFE
As we
Close the doors
On another year
It is time
To take an inventory
Of who we are---both individually---and collectively
SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING---I mean
Materially---as long as
We have a roof over our head
And something to eat
How much does it really matter
This life
Is just our “temporary” home
“He put a new song
In my mouth
A hymn of praise to God”
Psalm 40:3
My Father
Used to say it another way
“Live with a song in your heart
And a smile on your face”
My wish for you---for me too---in 2014 (2026)
Is that we will ALL
Live with GOD’S SONG
In our heart
And with a smile on our face
This comes from knowing
That we are ALL
CHILDREN OF GOD
And knowing
That he LOVES us
The way a parent
Loves his very own child
The way a parent
Loves and FORGIVES his very own child
Listen to what the Lord says,
“I will give you a new heart
And put a new and right spirit within you”
Ezekiel 36:26
And so
As we move forward in to 2014 (2026)
My wish for you is that
Whatever is in your PAST
Whatever is
NOT of God
NOT of love
NOT life---fulfilling
That you and I
Have the courage
To leave it there---IN THE PAST
“Therefore
If anyone is in Christ
He is a NEW CREATION
The old has gone
The new has come”
2 Corinthians 5:17
My wish for you is that you ( and I )
“Be made new
In the attitude of our mind
And we put on the new self
Created to be like God
In true righteousness and holiness”
Ephesians 4:23 & 24
My wish for you ( and me ), in 2014 (2026)
Is that we live
“With a smile on our face
And a song in our heart”
And we find
NEW HOPE---NEW BLESSINGS
And
NEW LIFE
In the Lord our God
HAPPY NEW YEAR---I LOVE YOU
